11 months on my belly button is still sticking out? Hernia?

How can I get my bellybutton to go back to normal, being an 'innie'. Its still sticking right out and is showing no signs of moving. Do you think its possible I have a hernia? I know I have a big gap between the ab muscles now if that has anything to do with it?

IMO go to the GP as get it checked. My belly button has gone back to where it was pre-birth after both babies (second baby was 7 days ago).

If it is a hernia, then you may need to get it removed. I had a hernia behind my belly button when I was about 4 and had to get it removed. I ended up having my belly button repositioned.

I agree, get your GP to have a quick look at it. I think it might or might not be a hernia but it will save you a ton of wondering to just go and ask and know for sure! :hug:
